Elisabeth was very kind to us during our stay. The important stuff, the towels, sheets etc, dishes, were all clean. The wi-fi was fast and reliable. And she has a beautiful little property in a quiet town.

Cozy house in the French countryside. The hosts were lovely and were very kind when we got lost finding the house (a bridge was out due to heavy rain). Our stay was only one night but we would have liked to stay longer! Great shower and small kitchen, very clean.

When we arrived at the gite Luc showed us all the amenities and made us feel very welcome. The gite was exactly as expected and the area was so quiet - it was the perfect place to relax. The local village was about a 45 minute walk each way which we didn't mind at all as we tried to burn off some of those extra calories we were eating! Of course you could always cycle using one of the many cycles (and bike locks were also available) freely available. We used the hot tub and sauna twice which cost an extra 10 euros per couple per hour - it was worth every cent as you had it to yourselves. The local village has several fantastic places to eat and we watched the eurpoean football final in the local bar which was lovely, sadly France lost :( We loved every minute of our holiday and would have no hesitation in reccommending any of Luc & Pascales gites.

My girlfriend and I spent two wonderful nights at the 2 person cottage. We were amazed at how well Pascale and Luc had managed to combine the beauty and simplicity of the surroundings with the modern and luxurious features of the accommodation. For example, it was an absolute treat to be able to book a private jacuzzi/sauna (complete with a surround sound system and light display!) after a long day exploring the quaint nearby villages. Pascale and Luc were warm and accommodating hosts, we would love to come back again and highly recommend it to any other travelers in the area.

We really enjoyed our stay at La Ligne. The accommodation was well equipped, modern and peaceful. Lots of things to do on site. The town Angles L'Anglin is very pretty and lots of attractions around the location. Thank you for a relaxing start to our holiday.

An absolute gem, such lovely hosts and the place was spectacular inside and out. Definitely want to return back one summer.

The room was very clean and comfortable. The pool is perfect for a swim. Breakfast was ok, some cold cuts (charcuterie) would be nice but there was fresh juice and a lot a fruit, what I liked a lot! If you are looking for a peace and quiet holiday, tis is the place for you. We were here only 1 day in our way home but we enjoyed it. In the neighbourhood there are only small villages and it's not very easy to find a good restaurant (eventually we found some place in la roche posay). I definitely recommed it!

Perfect getaway location. The house was beautifully furnished, was very clean and the hosts were welcoming. We had a lovely terrace with a bbq and access to a lovely pool. There is also a really great spa area with a huge Jacuzzi, sauna and shower although be aware this costs 10 euro per couple per hour. The local town of Angle Sur L'Anglin was completely unspoilt with stunning scenery and castle ruins. All in all we were very impressed and would go back.

We loved the house and everything in and around it! The house was big enough for the four of us. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. There were toys for the kids like lego en playmobil, great! We really like the fact that we had our own backyard with privacy, but also a big field where the kids could play soccer and run around. Pascale and her family were very friendly.

We enjoyed our stay very much! We were welcomed with delicious home made bread and confiture. The house has a very nice living with a very luxurious kitchen. Our own terrace and garden was perfect for our one year old daughter to play in and for us to relax, sunbathe and BBQ. The whole place is amazing by the way. From the pool to the badminton field: Pascale and her husband have an eye for details, they make the most of everything. We can highley recommand this place!

Pascale and Luc were extremely helpful both before and during our stay, and made us feel really welcome. The facilities on site were great, and the salt water pool was particularly wonderful. The room itself was comfortable and well equipped, in a beautiful countryside setting - so peaceful and relaxing! Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, we especially enjoyed the homemade jams. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would have no hesitation in returning and recommending it to friends and family. Thank you Pascale and Luc for a wonderful holiday!

We had a wonderful stay at Les Buis. The house was very complete and gave us a warm feeling; all the kitchen supplies you wish for where there, and the closets full of books, tasteful furniture and art on the walls made it feel like a home. With two families of four, with young children it was perfect. Each family had their own part of the house. We had a nice garden, swimming pool and trampoline within reach.

We had a wonderful stay at Les Buis - gorgeous, remote location with plenty of beautiful villages to visit in the surrounding areas. The Gite has everything you need for a very comfortable stay and the grounds/pool include a vast number of activities for families. We can't wait to return at some point in the future.

The house was better than the description and perfect for us all including nearly three year old Stanley. The hosts, Pascale and Luc, were friendly, welcoming and discreet. We loved picnicking on the banks of the Anglin at Angles and enjoyed the superb Roc aux Sorciers exhibition in the village. If they'll have again we'll be back.

A great place to stay, a lovely property in the middle of the countryside with beautiful sunsets and view. It was perfect for adults and the kids, with plenty of things to keep us occupied, including table tennis, badminton, table football and boules, bikes, flat screen TV with kids movies and huge bean bag! Our hosts were very helpful, helping us out with a pushchair and some first aid kit when our 6 year old tripped over! Many restaurants in the local village were shut as it was the end of August, put neighboring villages had plenty to offer and we did have a lovely bite to eat in the No15 English Teahouse! Super markets all about 20 mins away. so plan meals in advance If your feeling energetic you can do a return jog into Angles of 8km to pick up the bread in the morning!

Les Catalpas was the perfect setting for our family holiday. Pascale and Luc were extremely helpful both before and during our stay, and made us feel really welcome. The facilities on site were great as they catered for all ages, from adults to small children. The salt water pool was particularly wonderful and the children loved the pool toys. The house itself was spacious and well equipped, in a beautiful countryside setting - so peaceful and relaxing! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would have no hesitation in returning and recommending it to friends and family. Thank you Pascale and Luc for a wonderful holiday!

We had a wonderful couple of days staying at La Ligne in the 10-person barn. It is huge and is a lovely place to relax in. The pool was fabulous and our kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves - there was table tennis and also a trampoline. The place was clean and exactly as described, and is located next to large wheat fields. The little village, Angles sur Anglin, is lovely and we went canoeing on the river - something we highly recommend.

Welcome to Maison D’Angles, located in the centre of the upper village of Angles Sur L’Anglin, officially one of Frances most beautiful villages. Maison D’Angles was renovated and decorated with antiques and brocante finds by my mother in 2003 and is now our much loved holiday home. There are 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms, including a master bedroom with ensuite, a double bedroom and a bedroom with twin beds (accessed through the double bedroom). Regrettably we cannot accept children under 12.

La Maison D'Angles is our beautiful holiday home, located in Angles Sur L'Anglin in the region of Nouvelle Aquitaine (was Poitou Charentes), just South of the Loire Valley and North of Bordeaux. Maison D'Angles is a beautifully restored stone village house, retaining lots of beautiful original features, restored sympathetically and decorated eclectically with a mix of antiques and brocante finds, plus new modern pieces. The stunning views of the ancient Chateau and across the valley are breathtaking and it's located minutes away from the shops, cafes and restaurants.
*More Details*
Room 1 - 'Atelier'
Entrance through the double front door leads down limestone steps to the 'Atelier'. Here there is hanging space for coats and a boot rack for shoes and boots. There is also a small dining table and 2 chairs and a beautiful leather recliner next to the large patio windows which overlook the Terrace and pretty courtyard garden, perfect for relaxing and reading a book. In the winter, this room is kept toasty by underfloor heating.
Room 2 - Kitchen/Diner
The large sociable kitchen diner, has a dining table for 6-8 people, two comfortable chairs for reading and relaxing, and a well stocked kitchen, including some grocery essentials including teas, coffee, cooking oils, spices and herbs.

Note for those travelling from the UK with dogs. We like to take the Eurotunnel as having a rather sensitive Labrador, it used to be the only option where your dog can stay with you the whole time, The ferries also allow dogs, but on many they must remain in your car for the duration of the journey. However, Brittany ferries now have a number of pet friendly cabins on some of their Le Havre service, plus kennels on some of their St Malo crossings.

This was our second stay in Emma's house, and it was still as nice as the first time. Fall colors in the countryside are fantastic, and the house is very comfortable as well in autumn. We enjoyed a cosy stay and felt once again "at home".

BrigitteNovember 2016

It has been a real pleasure to stay in Emma's house, so lovely and comfortable that you immediately feel at home, just as if you were friends of her. The spirit of her mother is still lively in the furniture, the atmosphere. And no speaking of the wonderful terrace, facing the sunset, where you could spend all the day long, reading, eating, napping.... Besides, you are in the heart of the village, just steps from everything, cafés, castle.... Thanks to Emma for sharing this house with us, if you stay here, please take care of this jewel :)

BrigitteJuly 2016

Emma´s place was absolutely spectactular. We were all blown away by the beauty of this well maintained antique house in such a small, lovely town. A garden with a view on a 12th century castle and the valley, plenty of sunshine in the afternoon until the sun goes down. We could have stayed here for weeks!

XimenaAugust 2016

This place was absolutely wonderful and all jaws dropped when we walked in. The photos don't do it justice. The amenities were fantastic, the kitchen was spacious and practical. Just a short stroll to the village square to pick up fresh croissants and bagels in the morning and a glass of local rose in the afternoon. It was the perfect spot to base ourselves in for touring around the Loire Valley. If you only have few days it is worth just to come and enjoy the apartment and the town itself. I would not hesitate to stay here again and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. The host Emma was great to deal with

Françoise is a wonderful host, she did everything to make us feel as comfortable as possible. Her house is super cosy, you feel instantly at home. We also love her adorable cats and little dog. Thanks!
